    Aero leathers sheene fit check and advice

    All of the sheene’s I’ve seen here have the large rear shoulders and excess leather bunching in the lower back. I think Aero would have to pleat the leather to prevent it since it is one piece of leather. You might also be able to alleviate the problem with a kidney panel. I second looking...

    Aero Leather Premier HWY, 40, Seal Goatskin

    Unfortunately the jacket only looks like it fits when I’m posing. It kind of has that one size too small normally and it doesn’t help that I never tuck in my shirts. This fit also still has a convex pattern where my body type looks better in a concave one.

    Aero leathers sheene fit check and advice

    Chest, shoulders, and waist look good. Maybe an inch shorter in length and sleeves. It all depends how short you want the body length and sleeves. I personally hate short sleeves, but it’s a personal decision. Also, I noticed on my Aero jackets that my requested measurements can be off by...

    Get out the goats!

    My Aero seal goat is like a milk chocolate color. I wish it was darker. Guess there is a lot of shade variation with their goat.

    Best Leather Gloves?

    Legendary USA sells nice made in USA goatskin and deerskin gloves. I find them to fit very well unlike some other makers who make the thumb too long and pinky too short.

    Fit check on this leather jacket, please

    Looks a little tight in the chest and loose in the waist. That’s the opposite of how I like my leather jackets to fit.

    Aero Premier 1930s Highwayman

    Received my PHWM in seal goatskin size 40 tapered to 38. It’s still a little boxy but overall I really like this jacket. I wish the shoulders, chest, and hem were a little wider and arms and length a little longer. It’s definitely a little tight in the shoulders but is a t-shirt only jacket...

    Carrie from Thurston’s narrowed the whole sleeve from a Vanson I bought through them. Came out really nice. I’m sure Dena and Johnson’s can also do it.

    Does Aero only use veg tanned goat now? I thought they had both in the past, but their website stats they use veg.

    Get out the goats!

    It all depends on how much range of motion you want. The armpit gussets allow you to raise your arms without the whole jacket lifting up and the bi-swing helps a lot when reaching forward. It’s also important to factor in the jacket size and pattern as that also contributes to the...

    Aero Premier 1930s Highwayman

    Did you tweak any of the stock dimensions to fit your body type? I’m built very similar to you and would want the same slim fit you achieved. I’ve seen other premier highwayman that still look kind of boxy on other members.
